Destinations Escape to Southern Africa

Start Dreaming

Hidden away from the rest of the world, somewhere between the Sahara and the South Pole, the most extraordinary African safari awaits. Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda and the coral-fringed islands of the Indian Ocean. And we’re dying to share them with you.

We’ll take you on elephant-soaked mokoro rides, stomping over desolate sand dunes, sharing a laugh with tribal elders, diving with dugongs, and all the way to the edge of one of the world’s largest waterfalls. Between wild dog chases, treehouse sleepouts and crayfish beach braais (local lingo for a barbeque), no two days – or countries – are the same. And after it all, you won’t be either.
